CHAPTER
2
Environmental, Airflow and
Mechanical Considerations
This chapter describes the environmental considerations and airflow requirements
for a Sun Fire V1280 system.
The design of your environmental control system—such as computer room airconditioning units—must ensure that intake air to the server system complies with
the limits specified in this section.
To avoid overheating:
■
■
Guard against directing any warmed air toward the front of the cabinet or rack.
Guard against directing warmed air toward the server access panels.
The Sun Fire V1280 system can also be fitted with optional air filter cartridges,
where required, to reduce the intake of dust particles. These can be fitted at the rear
of the front doors and will require perdiodic cleaning or replacement.
The environmental limits for Sun Fire V1280 systems are listed in TABLE 2-1.
Note – When you receive your system, leave it in the shipping crate at its final
destination for 24 hours in the environment in which you will install it. This is to
prevent thermal shock and condensation.
9
Environmental Requirements
The system can be installed in an environment with the specific parameter ranges
shown in TABLE 2-1.

† Subject to a maximum absolute humidity of 0.024kg of water per kg of dry air.
The operating environmental limits in TABLE 2-1 reflect what the systems have been
tested to, in order to meet all functional requirements. The optimum operating
condition is the recommended operating environment. Operating computer
equipment for extended periods of time at or near the temperature or humidity
extremes is known to significantly increase the failure rate of hardware components.
In order to minimize any chance of down-time due to component failure, it is
strongly recommended that customers plan and use the optimal temperature and
humidity ranges.
Ambient Temperature Recommendations
The ambient temperature range of 21°C to 23°C is optimal for system reliability and
operator comfort levels. Most computer equipment can operate within a wide
temperature range, but a level near 22°C is desirable because it is easier to maintain
safe associated relative humidity levels at this temperature. Operating in this
temperature range provides a safety buffer just in case the environmental support
systems go down for a period of time. Though individual standards vary slightly,
21°C to 23°C should be used as an optimal recommendation.
10
Sun Fire V1280 Site Preparation and Installation Guide • September 2002
Ambient Relative Humidity Recommendations
The ambient relative humidity levels between 45% and 50% are the most suitable for
safe data processing operations. Under certain circumstances, most data processing
equipment can operate within a fairly wide environmental range (20% to 80%), but
the optimal goal should be between 45% to 50% for several reasons:
■
■
■
The optimal range helps protect computer systems from corrosivity problems
associated with high humidity levels.
It provides the greatest operating time buffer in the event of environmental
control system failure.
This range helps avoid failures or temporary malfunctions caused by intermittent
interference from static discharges that occur when relative humidity is too low.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is easily generated and less easily dissipated in areas
where the relative humidity is below 35%, and becomes critical when levels drop
below 30%. The 5% relative humidity range may seem unreasonably tight when
compared to the guidelines used in typical office environments or other loosely
controlled areas, but it is not so difficult to maintain in a data center because of the
high efficiency vapor barrier and low rate of air changes normally present.
Airflow and Heat Dissipation
The maximum rate of heat release a system with all slots occupied and active is
3300 W (11300 BTU/hour). More detailed figures are given in TABLE 2-2.

12P 96 Gbytes
3300W (11300 BTU/hr)
The Sun Fire V1280 system has been designed to function while mounted in a
natural convection airflow, but to meet the declared environmental specification the
following rules apply.
1. Adequate airflow through the chassis must be ensured. The Sun Fire V1280
system uses internal fans that can achieve a total airflow of 400 cfm in normal
operating conditions.
Chapter 2
Environmental, Airflow and Mechanical Considerations
11
2. The inlet air must enter at the front of the Sun Fire V1280 chassis; the airflow
exhausts from the rear of the chassis.
3. Ventilation openings for both the inlet and exhaust of the system should provide
a minimum open area of 1030 cm2 (160 in2) each.
4. A minimum of 88.9 mm (3.5 inches) clearance must be allowed at the front and
rear of the Sun Fire V1280 chassis when mounted unless an unobstructed airflow
can be ensured. Refer to “Mounting Requirements” on page 17.

Height: 533.4 mm (21 inches) 12RU nominal
Width: 445 mm (17.5 inches) including slides
Depth (chassis only): 558 mm (22 inches) (including slides): 568 mm (22.4 inches)
Weight: Approximately 107 kg (236 lb) (system only); 130 kg (286 lb) (with
mounting cradle); 141 kg (310 lb) (including cable management and slides)
These dimensions are for the product without rack-mount adapters; the overall
width of the adapters varies according to the equipment mounting requirements.
The depth given does not include any I/O or power connectors, or any cable
management features. depending on the type of cable management arm used,
between 60 mm (2.4 inches) and 200 mm (7.9 inches) must be added to the chassis
depth. The power connectors could add 50 mm (2 inches) to the depth.
Note – Cables are likely to protrude a minimum of 30 mm (1.2 inches) from the rear
of the chassis due to bend radii and connector backshells, and the telescopic slides
protrude 28 mm (1.1 inches).
Caution – Mechanical assistance is required when installing a loaded chassis.
Note – When mounting the system in a rack, allow sufficient space at the front and
rear for service access.
For details of the rack mounting options, see Chapter 4.

Electrical Supply Installation
This chapter provides information about isolating the Sun Fire V1280 system and the
installation of the electrical supply.
The Sun Fire V1280 system is supplied ready for installation in an equipment rack.
The plug at the end of each AC power cord is the primary means of isolating the Sun
Fire V1280 system.
Caution – This system has multiple power connections. You must disconnect all
associated AC inlet circuits in order to completely remove power from the system.
Note – The voltage must be in the range 200–240 VAC for the system to power up.
Caution – The power switch is not an On/Off switch, it is an On/Standby switch.
It does not isolate the equipment.
The power (On/Standby) switch of the Sun Fire V1280 system is a rocker type,
momentary action switch. It controls only low voltage signals and no high voltage
circuits pass through it.
Four grounded socket outlets must be located near the final installation location for
the Sun Fire V1280 system and must remain easily accessible once the unit has been

Rack Guidelines
Sun Fire V1280 systems are shipped with a cradle, which protects the bottom of the
chassis during transit and handling. The cradle must be removed once the Sun Fire
V1280 system is installed in a rack, then stored in a safe place.
Mounting Requirements
The Sun Fire V1280 chassis has been designed to accommodate the most common
mounting configurations. The standard rackmount kit allows installation in the
following racks:
■
Sun Fire Expansion Cabinet
■
Sun Storedge Expansion Cabinet
■
19-inch two-post rack with a post depth of between 76.2 mm (3 inches) and
152.4 mm (6 inches).
■
19-inch IEC297/EIA310-D rack with a depth between mounting rails of between
450 mm (17.7 inches) and 780 mm (30.7 inches).
An optional rackmount kit provides adapters to allow installation in a 23-inch twopost rack with a post depth of 127 mm (5 inches). These are intended for use with
telco unequal flange seismic frames.
The Sun Fire V1280 chassis must be mounted using screws suitable for the
equipment rack. The screws should be M5, M6 or #10-32 UNF. All screws must be
fitted. The recommended tightening torque value for either M5 or #10-32 UNF recess
head screws is 3.8 N m (2.8 lbf/ ft), and that for M6 screws is 6 N m (4.4 lbf/ ft).
The vertical mounting hole pattern of the rack should conform to the standard
dimensions shown in FIGURE 4-1.

Ensure that the slides are fitted properly aligned with the RETMA hole pattern so
that the system, when installed, aligns with a U boundary.
Installation Requirements
Vertical Space
The Sun Fire V1280 chassis occupies 12RU (533.4 mm / 21 inches) of vertical height.
Depth
There must be a minimum of 570 mm (22.4 inches) usable internal depth in the rack
or cabinet.
Required usable depth (rack internal space) is dependant upon the type of cable
management utilized and the cooling airflow arrangement.
18
Sun Fire V1280 Site Preparation and Installation Guide • September 2002
Examples
1. Minimum = 570 mm (22.4 inches) (refer to FIGURE 4-2)
The ‘minimum’ depth is based upon no rack front door (to provide maximum
airflow) and no cable Management Arm fitted (support for cable service loops
provided by the installer) This is dependant upon the method of routing cables
away from the rear of the system.

Service Access
To allow full service access to the Sun Fire V1280 system, there are limits to vertical
location within a rack. In a suitably stable four-post rack, two systems can be fitted;
the first should be no lower than 254 mm (10 inches) above the floor. The second
system can be mounted directly above this, but the top of the system should not
exceed 1320mm (52 inches) above the floor.
Only one system should be fitted to a two-post rack, in the lower position described
above.
No units or cables above or below a Sun Fire V1280 system should protrude beyond
the front face of the system. This allows service access when the slides are fully
extended.

Notes
1. For some operations the door may need to be swung back 180 degrees, or
possibly removed.
Loading
The rack must be capable of supporting a static load of 107 kg (236 lb) for a fully
configured Sun Fire V1280 system, or 214kg (472 lb) if two systems are installed.
Dynamic load considerations are subject to site location and application.
Note – Only one system should be mounted in a two-post rack.
24
Sun Fire V1280 Site Preparation and Installation Guide • September 2002
Safety
For Sun Fire V1280 systems, we strongly recommend anchoring all host racks or
cabinets to the floor, ceiling, or to adjacent frames, using the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Free standing racks or cabinets should be supplied with an anti-tilt feature which
must be extended with a minimum of 270 mm (10.6 inches) from the front edge of
the rack, or at least sufficiently to support the weight of the Sun Fire V1280 system
when extended on its slides, in order to prevent instability during installation or
service actions.
Where an anti-tilt feature is not supplied and the rack is not bolted to the floor, a
safety evaluation will need to be conducted by the installation or service engineer as
to rack stability when the Sun Fire V1280 system is extended on its slides, prior to
any installation or service activity.
Caution – Where two systems are fitted in a rack, only one of them should be
withdrawn for service at any one time.
Seismic Applications
If you intend to use the Sun Fire V1280 system in an environment that may be
subject to earthquakes and Earthquake Zone 4 compliance is required, a specialist
rack designed to tolerate Zone 4 earthquakes needs to be selected and independent
tests undertaken to ensure system compliance in these areas.
A seismic rack should be rigid enough to result in a fundamental resonance in the
horizontal axes of greater than 5 Hz with the Sun Fire V1280 system installed.

6. With the lifting device still supporting the assembly, loosen the two screws
attaching each handle to the chassis and orange shipping cradle.
The handles remain attached to the orange shipping cradle due to a feature on the
underside of the orange shipping cradle deck.
7. Simultaneously pull both handles out from the sides of the chassis, disconnecting
the orange shipping cradle from the system.
Caution – When manually installing the system it is critical to support the orange
shipping cradle and disengage both handles at the same time to safely detach the
orange shipping cradle with handles from the system.
8. The orange shipping cradle with handles can now be lowered out of the way with
the lifting device.
Remove the orange shipping cradle and store it for future use.
Caution – It is essential that the system is only lifted using the orange shipping
cradle. Failure to do so will result in major damage to the chassis.

APPENDIX
C
System Setup
This appendix describes briefly the steps required to power on and set up the system
using the System Controller command line interface (LOM prompt). Details of the
full procedure can be found in the Sun Fire V1280 System Administration Guide.
As shipped from the factory the LOM/System Controller on the IB_SSC will be
configured as follows:
■
■
■
SC configured to be on a network
SC Ethernet configured for DHCP
No pre-configured SC Ethernet IP address, Gateway, DNS domain, DNS servers.
The System Controller serial port connection will therefore need to be used for
initially modifying the system controller settings from these defaults unless DHCP is
available and the IP address assigned to the System Controller Ethernet connection
by DHCP is known.
The list below summarizes the major steps you must perform to power on and set
up the system:
1. Install and cable the hardware (“Installing and Cabling Hardware” on page 76).
2. Apply external power to the hardware (“Powering On” on page 83).
3. Set the date and time for the system (“Setting the Date and Time” on page 87).
4. Set the password for the System Controller (“Setting the Password” on page 87).
5. Set up system-specific parameters with the setupnetwork command
(“Configuring Network Parameters” on page 87).
6. Power on all hardware with the poweron command (“Powering On from Standby
Mode” on page 83).
7. If the Solaris operating environment is not pre-installed, install it.
8. Boot the Solaris operating environment.
9. Install the LOM packages from the Solaris Supplemental CD.
75
Installing and Cabling Hardware
To use the server’s remote monitoring and management facilities, you must use the
port labeled SSC1 Serial A.
If you intend to configure the server directly from a dumb terminal or a Sun
workstation, insert the loose end of the serial cable into the DB-25 adapter supplied.
Then plug the adapter into the DB-25 serial connector on the terminal or Sun
workstation you intend to use.
Setting Up Serial Connections
To perform the initial configuration when you install a Sun Fire V1280 system, and
also for ongoing monitoring and management of the server, you will need to use
either the serial port at SSC1 Serial A or the 10/100 LOM/SC Ethernet port. To use
the serial port you can connect the port labeled SSC1 Serial A to any of the following
devices:
■
Dumb terminal
For this connection, you can use the standard RJ-45 patch cable supplied with the
server, but you need to insert one end into the DB-25 adapter also supplied.
■
Sun workstation
For this connection, you can use the standard RJ-45 patch cable supplied with the
server, but you need to insert one end into the DB-25 adapter also supplied.
■
Terminal server (or patch panel connected to a terminal server)
The pinouts for the server’s serial ports correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45
ports on the Cisco AS2511-R79J Terminal Server. For terminal servers from other
manufacturers, you may need to make your own roll-over cable (see “Connecting
to a Terminal Server” on page 76).
Connecting to a Terminal Server
The serial port on the Sun Fire V1280 system is a DTE port. If you are connecting it
to other DTE ports, then the cabling between the devices you are connecting needs
to take account of this. The pinout for the Sun Fire V1280 system‘s serial port
corresponds with the pinouts for the RJ-45 ports on Cisco terminal servers. This
means, for example, that if you are using a Cisco AS2511-RJ Terminal Server, you can
do either of the following:
76
■
Connect a roll-over cable directly to the Sun Fire V1280 system.
■
Connect a roll-over cable to a patch panel and use a straight-through patch cable
to connect the patch panel to the Sun Fire V1280 system (see FIGURE C-1).
Sun Fire V1280 Site Preparation and Installation Guide • September 2002
Note – You do not have to use a Cisco terminal server. For other terminal servers,
check the manufacturer’s documentation to see if the pinouts of the serial ports on
the terminal server match the pinout of the Sun Fire V1280 system serial port. If they
do not, then write down which pins on the terminal server’s serial port carries the
signals listed in the right-hand column in TABLE C-1. Then make a roll-over cable
taking each of the pins on the Sun Fire V1280 system serial port to the correct pin on
your terminal server’s serial port.

Connecting to Your System From a Laptop
Running Microsoft Windows
Connecting the Sun Fire V1280 System to the Laptop
Note – Do not attempt to use the laptop’s (25-pin) parallel port instead of its serial
port. The serial port is a male 9-pin D-type connector.
1. Connect the RJ-45 to RJ-45 patch cable (supplied with the server) to the
SSC1 Serial A port on the back panel of the server.
2. Connect the other end of the patch cable to the RJ-45 connector on the silvercolored DB25 (25-way DSUB male-to-female 8 POS RJ-45) adapter (part number
530-2889) supplied with the Sun Fire V1280 system.
3. Next connect the 25-way D-type male connector to an adapter that has one 25-way
female connector and one 9-way D-type female connector.
Sun does not supply a 25x9-way D-type female-to-female adapter. However,
adapters like this are available from home computer suppliers and electronics stores.
The pin interconnections that the adapter must perform are listed in TABLE C-3.

Using Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal
Note – If you normally connect the serial port on your laptop to a handheld device,
you must close the Hot Sync Manager before following the instructions in this
section. Otherwise you will not be able to use the serial port to communicate with
the Sun Fire V1280 system.
The instructions in this section were verified on a laptop PC running Microsoft
Windows 98 and with HyperTerminal Applet version 3.0.
1. Run the Windows HyperTerminal utility.
2. In the HyperTerminal window, double-click the Hypertrm.exe icon.
3. In the Connection Description window, specify a name for the HyperTerminal
connection you are creating on the laptop.
Then select an icon for it and click OK.
4. In the Connect to... window, click the arrow for the “Connect using” option and
select the port you are using for your connection to the server.
Unless you have a particular reason for using a different port, select DIRECT TO
COM1. Click OK.
5. In the COM1 Properties Port Settings window, set the parameters as follows:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: specify ‘None‘.
Note – Do not select ‘Hardware‘ or ‘Xon/Xoff‘ for the Flow control option.
Click OK.
6. Your HyperTerminal session is now active. From the File menu, select Properties.
7. In the Properties window, click the Settings tab.
On the Settings tab, click the arrow for the “Emulation” option and select VT100. For
the “Telnet terminal” option, specify VT100. Click OK.
8. If your Sun Fire V1280 system is not powered on, the lom> prompt will appear in
the HyperTerminal window.
To power the server on, refer to “Powering On” on page 83.

Using the Power (On/Standby) Switch
Caution – The power switch is not an On/Off switch, it is an On/Standby switch.
It does not isolate the equipment.
The power (On/Standby) switch of the Sun Fire V1280 system is a rocker type,
momentary action switch. It controls only low voltage signals and no high voltage
circuits pass through it.

The symbols on the switch are:
On
■
Press and release to apply power to the server. This is the equivalent of the LOM
poweron command.
Standby
82
■
Press for less than four seconds to initiate an orderly shutdown of the system
(and of Solaris if it is running) into Standby mode. This is equivalent to issuing
the shutdown command at the lom> prompt. This is the method to use under
normal operation.
■
Press and hold down for more than four seconds to perform a system power
down to standby mode. This is equivalent to issuing the poweroff command at
the lom> prompt. This process is not interruptible. There is a risk of loss of data if
you use the On/Standby switch to power the system down without shutting
down Solaris first.

Powering On and Off
Powering On
Initial Power-On
1. Ensure all power cables are connected and external circuit breakers are switched
on.
2. The system will enter Standby mode.
The only indicator LEDs to be illuminated on the system indicator board are the
Source A and Source B indicators. The IB_SSC assembly Active LED will also be
illuminated, but not visible from the front of the system.
Powering On from Standby Mode
Powering the system on from Standby mode can be achieved in either of two ways:
■
■
Operating the On/Standby switch
Sending the poweron command via the LOM port.
If the auto-boot? variable has been set in the OBP, the system will automatically
boot into the Solaris operating environment.
Using the On/Standby Switch
1. Check that power is applied to the system and that it is correctly in Standby
mode.
The only indicator LEDs to be illuminated on the system indicator board are the
Source A and Source B indicators. The IB_SSC assembly Active LED will also be
illuminated, but not visible from the front of the system.
2. Momentarily press the On/Standby switch to the right.
The system will power on completely. The System Active indicator will be
illuminated in addition to the Source A and Source B indicators. The system will
execute the power on self tests (POST).

Using the LOM poweron Command
● At the lom> prompt, type:
lom>poweron
The system will power on completely. The System Active indicator will be
illuminated in addition to the Source A and Source B indicators. The system will
execute the power on self tests (POST).
Refer to the Sun Fire V1280 System Controller Command Reference Manual for a full
description of the poweron command.
Bringing the System to Standby Mode
This can be achieved in one of five ways:
■
■
■
■
■
Using the UNIX shutdown command.
Sending the shutdown command via the LOM port
Sending the shutdown command using the On/Standby switch
Sending the poweroff command via the LOM port
Sending the poweroff command using the On/Standby switch
Note – You should ensure that Solaris is cleanly shut down before powering a
system to standby mode otherwise data is at risk of being lost.
Using the Solaris shutdown Command
● At the system prompt, type:
# shutdown -i5
The system will power off to standby mode. The only indicator LEDs to be
illuminated on the system indicator board are the Source A and Source B indicators.

Note – If Solaris is running this command will attempt to halt the system cleanly
before powering down the system to standby mode, and is the equivalent of the
Solaris init 5 command.
● At the lom> prompt, type:
lom>shutdown
After Solaris has been stopped, the system will power off to standby mode. The only
indicator LEDs to be illuminated on the system indicator board are the Source A and
Source B indicators. The IB_SSC assembly Active LED will also be illuminated, but
not visible from the front of the system.
Refer to the Sun Fire V1280 System Controller Command Reference Manual for a full
description of the LOM shutdown command.
Sending the shutdown Command Using the On/Standby
